SRAM Static Entropy Extraction From Every Single Transistor in Unmodified Bitcell and Data Fingerprinting for Provenance Assurance 150 150
Author(s): Tianqi Wang, Joydeep Basu, Viveka Konandur Rajanna, Massimo Alioto

Abstract:

In this work, an SRAM macro uniquely extracting static entropy from every transistor in unmodified 6T bitcells is presented, achieving for the first time 6-bit/bitcell entropy. When operating as a conventional physically unclonable function (PUF), it achieves a state-of-the-art 296% PUF-to-SRAM capacity ratio without any error correcting code (ECC), retaining …

SLiMDO: A Single-Link Multi-Domain-Output Isolated DC–DC Converter With Passive Magnetic Flux Sharing for Local Energy Distribution and Rx Behavior Sensing-Based Global Power Modulation

SLiMDO: A Single-Link Multi-Domain-Output Isolated DC–DC Converter With Passive Magnetic Flux Sharing for Local Energy Distribution and Rx Behavior Sensing-Based Global Power Modulation 150 150
Author(s): Jianqiang Jiang, Lei Zhao, Junyao Tang, Cheng Huang

Abstract:

This article introduces a small form-factor single-link multi-domain-output (SLiMDO) isolated dc–dc converter design. The proposed design provides two regulated outputs in separate domains in the receiver (Rx) side with a single micro-transformer. These isolated Rxes achieve local voltage regulation and automatic energy distribution across domains through passive magnetic flux …

Compressive Sensing Photoacoustic Imaging Receiver With Matrix-Vector-Multiplication SAR ADC

Compressive Sensing Photoacoustic Imaging Receiver With Matrix-Vector-Multiplication SAR ADC 150 150
Author(s): Huan-Cheng Liao, Shunyao Zhang, Yumin Su, Arvind Govinday, Yiwei Zou, Wei Wang, Vivek Boominathan, Ashok Veeraraghavan, Lei S. Li, Kaiyuan Yang

Abstract:

Wearable photoacoustic imaging devices hold great promise for continuous health monitoring and point-of-care diagnostics. However, the large data volume generated by high-density transducer arrays presents a major challenge for realizing compact and power-efficient wearable systems. This article presents a photoacoustic imaging receiver (RX) that embeds compressive sensing directly into the …

A 6.4-GS/s, 200-MHz BW 77.3-dB DR 71.5-dB SNDR 2× TI Extrapolated CT DSM Employing Broadband Hybrid-Inputs Adder and Nonlinearity-Suppression DAC Encoder

A 6.4-GS/s, 200-MHz BW 77.3-dB DR 71.5-dB SNDR 2× TI Extrapolated CT DSM Employing Broadband Hybrid-Inputs Adder and Nonlinearity-Suppression DAC Encoder 150 150
Author(s): Yuekai Liu, Yichen Jin, Yan Liu, Mingqiang Guo, Sai-Weng Sin, Zhichao Tan, Guoxing Wang, Liang Qi

Abstract:

This article presents a wideband two-channel ( $2{\times }$ ) time-interleaved (TI) continuous-time (CT) delta-sigma modulator (DSM). $2{\times }$ TI technique halves the speed of the whole DSM loop. The feedforward (FF) extrapolation enables an equivalent $2{\times }$ TI implementation using only one complete analog DSM channel. Moreover, a broadband hybrid-input (i.e., resistor/ $G_{…

A Fast Transient Response Fully Integrated LDO With a Novel Resetting Oscillator Control Method

A Fast Transient Response Fully Integrated LDO With a Novel Resetting Oscillator Control Method 150 150
Author(s): Masoud Kargaran, Amir Besharati Rad, Ali Medi

Abstract:

This article introduces a novel resetting oscillator regulator (ROR) control method for low-dropout (LDO) regulators, designed to achieve fast settling times for both load and reference input steps. The proposed ROR integrates a high-speed loop that independently functions as an oscillator in a closed-loop configuration, along with a separate high-rate …

A Millimeter-Wave Direct Digital Transmitter Using Multiphase Subharmonic Switching PA

A Millimeter-Wave Direct Digital Transmitter Using Multiphase Subharmonic Switching PA 150 150
Author(s): Soumya Mahapatra, Mostafa Ayesh, Ce Yang, Mayank Palaria, Shiyu Su, Aoyang Zhang, Mike Shuo-Wei Chen

Abstract:

This article presents a direct digital transmitter (TX) employing a multiphase subharmonic switching (MP-SHS) power amplifier (PA) to achieve both high peak and power back-off (PBO) efficiency with wide signal bandwidth. A phase-shifted subharmonic (SH) local oscillator (LO) divider is proposed to suppress SH spurs with minimal implementation overhead by …

Fully Analog, Multi-Lag, RF Correlators for Code-Domain Radars Using Margin Propagation

Fully Analog, Multi-Lag, RF Correlators for Code-Domain Radars Using Margin Propagation 150 150
Author(s): Aswin Undavalli, Kareem Rashed, Abdul Rakib Hossain, Gert Cauwenberghs, Shantanu Chakrabartty, Arun Natarajan, Aravind Nagulu

Abstract:

We present a fully analog, multiplier-free, sampled-domain RF correlator to achieve high energy efficiency for radar workloads. The RF correlator employs a split-source follower architecture that leverages the margin propagation (MP) computing paradigm in the sampled domain. As a proof of concept, we implement a $256 \times 256$ fully analog cross correlator …

A 9.5-pJ/bit 40-Mbps Quasi-Static Body Channel Transceiver With Compact Adaptive Equalization 150 150
Author(s): Tao He, Yabin Zheng, Longyang Lin, Yongfu Li, Guoxing Wang, Jian Zhao

Abstract:

The key challenge in body-coupled communication (BCC) is achieving high-speed and energy-efficient data transmission in dynamically varying channels, particularly addressing variations in dominant pole frequency and channel gain caused by motion and environmental changes in the quasi-static band. This article proposes a broadband BCC transceiver (TRX) with a compact adaptive …
